Re: Five Best War Movies

Black Hawk Down; 9th Company; Platoon; Das Boot; Kelly's Heroes; Band of Brothers (not technically a movie, but still deserves a mention).

Update: Can't believe I forgot this one: My Way.

HobbyEasy.com -- reliable?

My quest for the 'Greedy Pig' set from Bravo 6 has lead me to the Chinese site HobbyEasy.com.

Before I use a site that doesn't use PayPal I would appreciate it if anyone could inform me how trustworthy this site is.

Re: 1/18 scale Predator ( Plane Not Alien ) do we need it ?

If you were to do the Alien Predator and some xenomorphs, then I'm in.

As for the UAV, I don't see a market for it.

Re: Some random painting.

$5-10 bucks, on account that it is New Ray.

The painting looks good though.

Question: Is that supposed to be a German Flag in that last pic? If so, I don't recall the Bundeswehr operating an armoured vehicle like that.

I think I'm alone on this, but I would love a T-72 or BMP with a few VDV to match.

Whatever you decide to make, I wish you luck!

They're toys, and it shows. I have both; each works as the vehicle it represents, but I wouldn't compare it favourably to offerings by BBI or 21st.

Re: 1:100 F-16

If I understood your short posts correctly, you built/ painted this model. Then you declare it too toy like and want to toss it out.

I'm suggesting if it disappoints you, do something to fix it.

Should I have misinterpreted, I apologize, and recommend you extend the explanation in your posts.

I was at that museum not 2 weeks ago, and never even bothered to look for a hobby shop. At least one board member got to relive memories!

Do they have a website perchance?

I hope this isn't a members auction:
